Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Yoder, CO.

Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for clients in Yoder who are dependent and addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This type of treatment has been around for a very long time, and the general notion is that clients are no longer involved in the drug using activities that was brought on by their addiction since the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same neurons in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so successful as a replacement for heroin and other prescription opioids.

Patients enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms from the methadone itself. This might be financially and logistically challenging, but some feel it is a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those starting on methadone maintenance therapy ought to know that methadone detoxification is known to be way more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a high dosage of methadone, there are some detox centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients seeing that detoxification can be so difficult and rates of relapse are considerably high.
